The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists

This documentary from Les Blank follows the indomitable Gerald ‘The Maestro’ Gaxiola, who turned to a life of prolific art making after years as an aircraft mechanic, traveling salesman, and body builder. While, in Gaxiola’s words, ‘art is a religion, not a business,’ THE MAESTRO: KING OF THE COWBOY ARTISTS is a joyful portrait of an irreverent, outsized life.
